Rep. Waxman Statement on Israel's Right to Defend Itself from Hamas Attacks

Statement

"The United States stands firmly with Israel as it responds to the onslaught of rockets terrorizing cities across Southern Israel. The deadly escalation of attacks by Hamas is a war on Israeli civilians and a grave danger to the Palestinians in Gaza already suffering under the oppressive Hamas regime. It is imperative that the international community defend Israel's right to defend itself."
